Why Mobile Banking Apps Use React JS for Simplifying E-Banking Maintenance
Is your financial institution on the fence about whether to work with a React JS specialist and if React is the best solution for maintaining your banking app? It is abundantly clear that the seascape of the banking world has undergone a tremendous metamorphosis over the past decade. It is often hard to determine whether something is just a fad or a fundamental innovation. There have been 4 billion finance app downloads across the iOS and Android platforms. At the same time, brick-and-mortar bank branches are closing around the world. There is a direct correlation between the two. People prefer the luxury of being able to bank anytime and anywhere, and smart devices and the internet have made this possible. This has made the demand for technical experts in mobile development a must in the financial services industry. In this article, we explore the benefits of using React JS for the development and maintenance of your mobile application. What Is React JS? React JS is a JavaScript library, created by the developers at Facebook, to simplify the development of user interfaces. The two competitors in this space are Angular and Vue—at a distant third. React currently dominates the marketplace with more than double the users of Angular. React is a component-based library that builds applications by stacking components into one app. For instance, a bank app may partially consist of components like: These components constitute the fundamentals of a basic e-banking app. The primary power of using the React approach to maintenance is that it uses both the Real Dom and a Virtual Dom. This is the key...Why Should Magento 2 Store Owners Invest in Mobile App Development

How the Free Kevin Movement Changed the Cyber Security Industry
Kevin Mitnick’s journey to notoriety started when he was a kid playing pranks by changing telephone numbers. However, he didn’t catch the attention of the world until he tested his skills in deeper, more dangerous waters — just to see if he could. But why did The New York Times call Kevin “,” and how did the Free Kevin movement revolutionize the cybersecurity industry? Here, we’ll discuss how Kevin’s case impacted the industry via the movement crucial to Kevin’s transition to White Hat hacking. What Spurred the Free Kevin Movement? In 1995, Kevin Mitnick’s case brought to light many nuances to the cyber security industry. Kevin’s imprisonment was highly controversial because he was denied bail, coerced into a guilty plea, and fought an uphill, drawn-out legal battle. Although he committed cybercrimes, Kevin had no intent to exploit or profit from the information he gathered or cause serious harm. Many people rallied together in Kevin’s defense because they felt that the crimes of this prankster did not match his jail time or how his case was handled. Kevin’s supporters wrote articles, posted fliers, made bumper stickers, and even rallied outside of the prison to march in a parade with yellow, “Free Kevin” banners. This protest for the Free Kevin movement sent the prison into lockdown, and that was only the beginning. His cyber advocates went to great lengths also defaced websites around the world with “Free Kevin” banners. As information about Kevin’s case was exposed, much to the displeasure of the government, the support for Kevin grew. The Free Kevin movement extended to parades outside of federal courthouses in fifteen...

Managing Secrets in Laravel with AWS Parameter Store | Laravel News
Secrets are values you don’t want to be exposed publicly, such as API credentials or private keys. In Laravel, these are typically values added to your .env file. Sometimes they are private keys, perhaps generated for Laravel Passport, or downloaded for a GitHub app. How you manage these secrets depends a lot on your deployment process. Forge allows you to load and edit the .env file directly from the server. For more custom hosting solutions, you might save the .env file in an S3 bucket, and download them during deployments. A more secure solution (but still easy to use!) for managing secrets is AWS Parameter Store. There is also an AWS service appropriately named Secrets Manager. Secrets Manager has a lot more features, but you may not necessarily need or want them for this use case. It’s also more expensive. Parameter Store pricing is here. Secrets Manager pricing is here. Using Parameter Store Parameter store is a key-value store. It’s part of the larger AWS Systems Manager (SSM) service. It’s got a bunch of features! We’ll cover what we need to manage secrets for Laravel apps, including: Storing Encrypted Values The following are the types of values you can store: We’ll be using SecureString, which is appropriate for storing secrets. Using this type will encrypt the parameter value. Values requiring encryption use the KMS service (Key Management Service) to provide a the key pair used for encryption. You can create and manage your own keys within KMS, or you can use the default key, which is managed for you. Creating your own key gives you more fine-grained control over...Top Mobile App Development Companies in USA, UK & Canada

How do you use technology/policy to improve citizens’ lives? Tell us about your role or organisation. CyberSecurity Malaysia plays a sentimental role in shaping the cybersecurity landscape of the country, having been the reference centre of cyber security for more than two decades. Our technical expertise and security programmes in various sectors is crucial to ensure that technologies deployed in organisations provide a secure cyber and computing environment. This is particularly important as the country is gearing up to become a regional leader on digital economy where the cybersecurity ecosystem is a safe place for the citizens. As the head of theCyber Security Proactive Services Division, as the name implies, my role is to assure trust and confidence in the cyber security ecosystem through security efforts to prevent cyber security breaches and minimise impacts should they occur. Instead of the popular term ‘technology as an enabler’, we wish to shift this perception to ‘cyber security as an enabler for a secure and trusted cyber ecosystem’. We know very well that technologies are designed for efficiency and convenience purposes; but security is frequently an afterthought. This situation is ongoing which prompts us to find solutions to deal with these security threats and assure its security readiness.

As the needs of developers and users change, so does technology. As basic tools for building applications, frameworks are no different. What was convenient and popular yesterday may lose its need and relevance today. Ruby on Rails, a framework written in Ruby and released in 2004, is often cited as an example of this change. The framework that was once one of the most popular is now considered outdated and dead by some. Each year and every release have brought us something new. Let us show you, what is the state of Ruby on Rails on the threshold of the roaring twenties! What’s new in Ruby on Rails? Ruby on Rails will turn 16-year-old this year. Lots of changes have been introduced both in the language and in the framework. As a company, we have always been waiting for new releases. Many people involved in the development of RoR have ensured that it will be ready to meet the upcoming challenges. Ruby on Rails in 2020 These release notes cover only major changes. For other updates, various bug fixes, and changes, see the changelog or the commit list in the main Rails GitHub repository. Also, before upgrading an existing application, it would be good to have test coverage before doing so. Besides, prior to attempting to upgrade to Rails 6.1, you must first upgrade to Rails 6.0 and ensure that the application is still running as expected. Key new features in Rails 6.1: Ruby 3.0.0 is an upcoming open-source dynamic language update that is already available as a preview. Key features of the new version include parallel execution and...
Implement app roles authorization with Azure AD and ASP.NET Core
This post shows how to implement Azure AD App roles and applied to users or groups in Azure AD. The roles are used in an ASP.NET Core Razor page application as well as a ASP.NET Core API. The roles from the access token and the id token are used to authorize the identity which is authenticated. Code: App roles Create an Azure App registration for Web APP In this example, a web application will implement authentication and will use a second ASP.NET Core application which implements the user API. Two Azure AD App registrations are created for this, one for each application. The ASP.NET Core Razor page application is a client which can be authenticated, as well as the identity using the application. It has a trusted back end which can keep a secret. The Azure AD App registration uses a standard web application with a client secret. You could also use a certificate instead of a secret to authenticate the client. App roles are added to the App registration for the UI client. These roles are used in the UI application which are returned in a user data profile request or in the id token, depending how your client implemented the OIDC standard. Three roles were added to the Azure AD App registration using the App roles | preview blade. The roles could also be added directly in the manifest json file. "appRoles": [ { "allowedMemberTypes": [ "User" ], "description": "web app admin role", "displayName": "web-app-role-admin", "id": "3731c162-330a-412d-8b2f-7b0fe1bc7150", "isEnabled": true, "lang": null, "origin": "Application", "value": "web-app-role-admin" }, { "allowedMemberTypes": [ "User" ], "description": "web app student role", "displayName":...Best Mobile app development company : 10 Best company

I Stumbled into Data Science by Accident | by Michael Kingston | Nov, 2021 | Towards Data Science
I Stumbled into Data Science by Accident If a dummy like me can learn to code and analyze data, anyone can! It seems that people get into data science from all sorts of different backgrounds. It seems clear that there is no “best” way to get into the field. I thought it might be interesting to share my own story. I spent 15 years working as CEO of a manufacturing company in an LDC (Least Developed Country). Some demographic statistics (Source: http://hdr.undp.org/en/countries/profiles/PNG) We’d been working to modernize our processes, with some successes and some failures, but we always learned something from the experience. My working life had been one improvement project after another for more than a decade, and honestly I loved it. Perhaps a topic for a future article. The latest was an ambitious project to change the way we plan and report production. For many years, our production planning process was unorthodox. Without consultation or communication with other stakeholders, the production manager would arbitrarily decide their production plan. This plan lived on an excel spreadsheet, which only the production manager had access to. The first time production data of any kind entered the company’s Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) was 24 hours after a days worth of production had been completed. Hand-written paper production record sheets were delivered to two production clerks who’s sole mission was to create new work orders in the ERP to match the production sheets, and immediately close the work orders. The quantity of finished goods would increase, and raw materials would decrease. We called this “back-flushing”. Everyone knew that it was not...
First ever Government Cyber Security Strategy to step up Britain’s defence and resilience
Britain’s public services will be strengthened to further protect them from the risk of being shut down by hostile cyber threats, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Steve Barclay will say today. The minister will outline the cyber threat that government and wider public sector systems face in a speech today, as he launches the first ever Government Cyber Security Strategy. In the speech in central London, Mr Barclay will say that Britain is now the third most targeted country in the world in cyberspace from hostile states. The new strategy will be backed by £37.8 million invested to help local authorities boost their cyber resilience – protecting the essential services and data on which citizens rely on including housing benefit, voter registration, electoral management, school grants and the provision of social care. Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Steve Barclay said: Our public services are precious and without them individuals can’t access the support that they rely on. If we want people to continue to access their pensions online, social care support from local government or health services, we need to step up our cyber defences. The cyber threat is clear and growing. But government is acting – investing over £2billion in cyber, retiring legacy IT systems and stepping up our skills and coordination. The new strategy outlines how central government and the public sector will continue to ensure that public services can function in the face of growing cyber threats. It will step up the country’s cyber resilience by better sharing data, expertise and capabilities to allow government to ‘Defend As One’, meaning that government cyber defence...
How to Become a Web Developer: The Ultimate Guide

If you’ve ever thought of making a foray into a new career as a web developer, then this blog is for you. Today, we’re talking about everything you need to know about becoming a web developer. Let’s get started! What Is Web Development? Web development is the process of building and maintaining websites, apps, and software operating on the internet. Web developers use a variety of coding languages to ensure that a website not only looks visually pleasing but also provides a seamless user experience. Typically, web development is categorized into front end, back end, and full-stack development. Front-End Development Front End Development focuses on the design elements of a website while anticipating user behavior and needs. Front-end developers don’t create the design of a website, instead, they use coding language to translate visual elements into lines of code that users see as static and interactive objects on their screens. Front-end developers often collaborate with graphic, UX, or web designers to transform design ideas into a website, app, or piece of software that is easy to use. They also ensure that a website is optimized for search engines so people can find them. They also make sure that a website works and looks good regardless of screen size by incorporating...Implementing Mapbox On React Native

Creating a Dynamic Dialog System with Bootstrap and ASP.NET 5 | DanylkoWeb
Creating a Dynamic Dialog System with Bootstrap and ASP.NET 5 With the anniversary of Bootstrap next month, today’s post explains how to take a modal and make it more dynamic using ViewComponents Written by Jonathan “JD” Danylko • Last Updated: July 7th, 2021 • Develop • Like | 0 Since we’re coming up on the 10th anniversary of Bootstrap, I felt this would be a good time to write a post describing how to use Bootstrap in your ASP.NET Core. I know I mentioned in the past about how JavaScript frameworks take up way too much space and slow down the loading of webpages, but Bootstrap is a library and has fundamental elements every web application uses. I’ve tried to move away from Bootstrap by creating my own CSS grid system and JavaScript library of elements (like dropdown, modal, etc), but there were 2 reasons why I stopped. In today’s post, we’ll create the happiest dialog on the Internet using Bootstrap and ASP.NET ViewComponents. The project will display a button on the screen and when you press it, a dialog will appear with a loading indicator. When the GET finishes loading the content, the ViewComponent will replace the indicator. Our demo project uses ASP.NET 5.0, Razor Pages, Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and TypeScript. That is all we need. So no Controllers are in this house. Creating the Project First steps was to create the project. Now that we have our project, we need to add the client-side specifics. Setting up the Task Runner Visual Studio’s Task Runner will help us out with compiling our TypeScript into vanilla JavaScript. Let’s create our...![Top Mobile App Development Companies in Dubai, UAE [Reviews 2022]](https://old.vinova.sg/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/App-Development-Companies-in-UAE-400x250.jpg)
